Poor, C. J.; Dillon, H. E.; Chabert, A.; Bastida De Jesus, J. – Journal of Civil Engineering Education, 2020
This paper describes a laboratory experiment that was designed to improve engineering education in fluids and hydrology courses. The laboratory module is part of a broader effort to enhance the undergraduate engineering laboratory curriculum to incorporate modern pedagogical methods and to improve a defined set of student outcomes. The…

Otte, Michael Friedrich – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2020
Reflection on the theme of the paper makes one to remember Sir Snow's 1959 lecture on The Two Cultures in which Snow had advanced the thesis that the sciences and the humanities had become split into two cultures and had argued that this division had become a major handicap to solving the world's problems. Mathematics education itself has always…

Qu, Wen; Liu, Haiyan; Zhang, Zhiyong – Grantee Submission, 2020
In social and behavioral sciences, data are typically not normally distributed, which can invalidate hypothesis testing and lead to unreliable results when being analyzed by methods developed for normal data. The existing methods of generating multivariate non-normal data typically create data according to specific univariate marginal measures…

Menendez, David; Rosengren, Karl S.; Alibali, Martha W. – Grantee Submission, 2020
People often have difficulty understanding processes of biological change, and they typically reject drastic life cycle changes such as metamorphosis, except for animals with which they are familiar. Even after a lesson about metamorphosis, people often do not generalize to animals not seen during the lesson. This might be partially due to the…

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 2020
The Essential Principles and Fundamental Concepts described in Version 3 of this guide represent content that does not fall neatly within traditional science disciplines, but rather supports a focus on integrated science. Many Fundamental Concepts illustrate more than one Essential Principle. This guide presents a vision of an ocean-literate…

Bocharov, Mikhail I.; Simonova, Irina V.; Bocharov?, Tatyana I.; Zaika, Anna Y. – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2020
The analysis of the results of scientific research has revealed the necessity to track the level of anxiety of a student while studying aspects of information security in a particular subject area. And in accordance with the results, it was necessary to justify the choice of methods for management and content of information security training in…

Laura Elizabeth Roberts – ProQuest LLC, 2020
This study examines how practices of open science, a movement for making scholarship more open, shareable, and reusable, are learned and performed by individual scholars across different fields, in both the sciences and humanities. New open practices are being developed in response to technologies that allow for researchers to easily share their…

Amber V. Benton – ProQuest LLC, 2020
The purpose of my study is to explore why and how Black women undergraduates at historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) persist in computing. By centering the experiences of Black women undergraduates and their stories, this dissertation expands traditional, dominant ways of understanding student persistence in higher education.…

Eppler, Elisabeth; Serowy, Steffen; Link, Karl; Filgueira, Luis – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2018
Profound anatomical knowledge is the basis for modern demands in medicine and surgery, but many countries worldwide including Australia and New Zealand have discontinued offering dissection courses to medical and dental students during the past decades. This educational project done in Australia aimed at enhancing basic and advanced anatomy…

Vincent-Ruz, Paulette; Binning, Kevin; Schunn, Christian D.; Grabowski, Joe – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2018
In chemistry, lack of academic preparation and math ability have been offered as explanations as to why women seem to enroll, perform, and graduate at lower levels than men. In this paper, we explore the alternative possibility that the gender gap in chemistry instead originates from differential gender effects of academic factors on students'…

Patall, Erika A.; Steingut, Rebecca R.; Vasquez, Ariana C.; Trimble, Scott S.; Pituch, Keenan A.; Freeman, Jen L. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2018
This diary study provided the first classroom-based empirical test of the relations between student perceptions of high school science teachers' various autonomy supporting and thwarting practices and students' motivation and engagement on a daily basis over the course of an instructional unit. Perceived autonomy supporting practices were…

Dark, Marta L.; Hylton, Derrick J. – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2018
This article describes a general education course offering, Physics and the Arts. During the development of this course, physics and arts faculty collaborated closely. We cover the usual physics phenomena for such a course--light, color, and sound--in addition to gravity, equilibrium, and spacetime. Goals of the course are to increase students'…

Moore, James Christopher – Education Sciences, 2018
We have investigated the efficacy of on-line, multimedia learning modules (MLMs) as preparation for in-class, lecture-based tutorials in electromagnetism in a physics course for natural science majors (biology and marine science). Specifically, we report the results of a multiple-group pre/post-test research design comparing two groups receiving…

Joki, Jarkko; Aksela, Maija – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2018
Teaching chemical bonding using the octet rule as an explanatory principle is problematic in many ways. The aim of this case study is to understand the learning and teaching of chemical bonding using a research-informed teaching model in which chemical bonding is introduced as an electrostatic phenomenon. The study posed two main questions: (i)…

Bøe, Maria Vetleseter; Henriksen, Ellen Karoline; Angell, Carl – Science Education, 2018
Calls for renewal of physics education include more varied learning activities and increased focus on qualitative understanding and history and philosophy of science (HPS) aspects. We have studied an innovative approach implementing such features in quantum physics in traditional upper secondary physics classrooms in Norway. Data consists of 11…
